Facile Synthesis of Manganese Tellurite Nanoparticles for Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Photothermal Therapy

In this study, manganese tellurite (MnTeO₃) nanoparticles are developed as theranostic agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided photothermal therapy of tumor. MnTeO₃ nanoparticles are synthesized via a simple one-step method. The as-synthesized MnTeO₃ nanoparticles with uniform size show good biocompatibility. In particular, MnTeO₃ nanoparticles exhibit a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 26.3%), which is higher than that of gold nanorods. Moreover, MnTeO₃ nanoparticles also have high MRI performance. The longitudinal relaxivity (r₁) value of MnTeO₃ nanoparticles is determined to be 8.08 ± 0.2 mm ⁻¹ s⁻¹, which is higher than that of clinically approved T₁-contrast agents Gd-DTPA (4.49 ± 0.1 mm ⁻¹ s⁻¹). The subsequent MnTeO₃ nanoparticles-mediated photothermal therapy displays a highly efficient ablation of tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo with negligible toxicity. It is demonstrated that MnTeO₃ nanoparticles can serve as promising theranostic agents with great potentials for MRI-guided photothermal therapy.

电磁场作用下菜籽油的摩擦学性能研究

使用改进后的四球摩擦磨损试验机考察了不同电磁场强度和不同载荷条件下菜籽油的摩擦学性能,结合扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线能谱仪(EDS)和X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)分析了磨斑的表面形貌及表面典型元素的化学状态,并对摩擦学机理进行了初步探讨.结果表明:在所考察的工况下,电磁场有利于改善菜籽油的抗磨减摩性能,其强度越大,对菜籽油抗磨减摩性能的改善效果越好;电磁场通过促进吸附膜的吸附作用和O元素与金属表面作用,有利于在磨斑表面生成更厚、更致密的摩擦化学反应膜,从而增强了菜籽油的抗磨减摩性能;不同强度的电磁场可能会改变长链菜籽油分子在摩擦界面的吸附形态而影响其减摩性能.     

基于SPH/FEM方法的浅水冲击喷溅及其抑制结构研究

物体浅水冲击会造成结构响应和自由液面的剧烈喷溅,以往的研究多集中在物体受水的冲击响应方面,而对浅水层受物体冲击引起的剧烈喷溅问题及其喷溅抑制结构的相关研究很少。本文基于SPH/FEM耦合方法对浅水冲击的液体喷溅特性开展研究。首先,计算了刚性长方体结构的冲击喷溅,与文献中准二维溅水试验结果进行了比较,将浅水喷溅分为初始喷溅、二次喷溅和底部射流三部分。分别研究了各部分喷溅的形成机理,指出二次喷溅由结构对水层的挤压和底部射流的能量传递共同引起,并分析了水深对二次喷溅的影响规律。其次,对喷溅抑制结构的机理做了数值研究,发现拱形翻边构型可以抑制初始喷溅,但不能有效降低二次喷溅。最后,提出了一种带凹槽和阻水边条的新型翻边构型,对二次喷溅具有更好的抑制效果。     

Characterization of the chemical constituents in Hongjingtian injection by liquid chromatography quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry

Hongjingtian injection is made from Rhodiola wallichiana and used in the treatment of stable angina pectoris associated with coronary heart disease. In this study, the chemical constituents in Hongjingtian injection were comprehensively studied using liquid chromatography quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry. A total of 49 compounds were identified or assumed, including 10 organic acids, nine phenylethanoids, 10 phenylpropanoids, two flavonoid glycosides, seven monoterpene glycosides, seven octylglycosides and four other types of compounds. The structures of seven compounds were confirmed by comparing their retention times, MS and UV spectra with the corresponding authentic standards. Amongst the 49 compounds, 35 were firstly found in R. wallichiana, while they have been reported in other species of the genus Rhodiola, including Rhodiola crenulata, Rhodiola sacra, Rhodiola rosea and Rhodiola kirilowii. The possible fragmentation pathways in the mass spectrometry of the major types of compounds are proposed and summarized. Our study demonstrates a rapid method for characterizing the chemical constituents present in the Hongjingtian injection, which could also be applied to the identification of chemical constituents in other TCM formulae containing R. wallichiana.     

Ultrafast Intercalation Enabled by Strong Solvent–Host Interactions: Understanding Solvent Effect at the Atomic Level

Solvents play an essential role in many areas of chemistry and is the cornerstone of understanding reactivity in solution‐phase reactions. Solvent effects have been widely observed in intercalation reactions; however, understanding of the influence of solvents on the thermodynamics and kinetics remains largely elusive in intercalation chemistry. Now, the solvent‐dependent kinetics of ferrocene intercalation into a layered vanadyl phosphate (VOPO₄?2 H₂O) host is presented, with a special focus on primary alcohols. From methanol to 1‐hexnaol, the intercalation rate peaks in 1‐propanol (80 times faster than the slowest case in methanol). Similar kinetics of exfoliation are also found in these solvents without ferrocene. The correlation between intercalation and exfoliation is understood at atomic level by DFT calculations, which reveal the role of pre‐intercalated solvent molecules play in intralayer interactions, interlayer expansion, and layer sliding.
